The outer handle is textured to enhance both comfort and grip. The handle also features a stainless steel butt cap suitable for hammering or pounding in emergency situations. The handle is fastened to the blade with stainless steel fasteners. Silver Trident has an aggressive drop point blade made from 154CM stainless steel. The domestic equivalent of ATS-34, this U.S. made stainless steel takes and holds an edge better than other stainless steels. Blades are available double-edged with partial serrations, or double-edged with partial chisel-tip serrations on top and standard serrations on bottom. Blades are heat treated to 57-59Rc. This provides the best edge holding ability while maintaining flexibility and strength. The blade is blackened to reduce glare and corrosion.
